Answer 2

The amount in which he saved last month = $108

Explanation:

It is given that,

Gabriel saves 40% of his monthly paycheck for college. And he earned $270 last month.

To find the saving money

Amount = $270

Saving percentage = 40%

To find the 40% of $270

Saving = (40/100)*270 = 4 * 27 = 108

Therefore the amount in which he saved last month = $108
